Hello Mark,I suspect, the point of adding the users in the watchers list is that you want them to receive notifications on any issue change.If this is the case, please consider adding a saved query like 'project: projectId'. Then share the search with the users. When done, they (or any user with admin permissions) will be able to check 'on issue created' option for this saved query in their profile.

No, what I think he means is similar to what I currently have to do. Because you can only make one person the Project Admin there's currently no way to have some people automatically become watchers. The purpose of this is essentially so that a group of people automatically receive notifications relating to any new issues.

The only way of doing this at the moment is manually. Maybe a workflow would solve it?
